Summary
If you make 249,015 บาท a year living in Thailand, you will be taxed 13,501 บาท. That means that your net pay will be 235,514 บาท per year, or 19,626 บาท per month. Your average tax rate is 5.4% and your marginal tax rate is 5.0%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.
